Views

Share one slice each — without buying a seat per person.

Build a tailored view of a sheet: choose the columns, restrict the rows to each person, and shape the detail form. Share it by email, group, or company domain — and nobody you share with has to be licensed.

One sheet. Each person sees only their slice. No seats bought.
How it works
No seat to license
Share a view with someone and they get exactly that view — no membership, no per-collaborator seat consumed. The view itself is the boundary, so handing access to a contractor or a whole external domain doesn't inflate your bill.
Each person sees only their rows
Restrict a view "by the current user" against a contact column, and every recipient sees only the rows where they're named — on the same shared link. An insider sees their slice; an outsider on the very same link sees only theirs. No duplicate sheets to keep in sync.
Choose the columns they see
Pick exactly which fields appear in a view and in what order. A salary column, an internal note — leave it out and it never reaches the recipient's grid or their CSV export.
Share by email, group, or domain
Add an individual by email, a reusable group you manage once, or an entire company domain. Group and domain shares are gated to require per-person row restriction, so members can never accidentally see each other's rows, and free email domains are refused.
View-only or editor
Give a recipient read-only access, or let them edit their own rows through the same conflict-safe save model as the main grid. Editors can add new items too, when you allow it — and new rows are auto-stamped with their identity.
Shape the detail form
Decide which fields show in the row-detail panel and which are required when someone adds an item, so a view doubles as a clean, focused intake surface.
A clean recipient landing
Recipients open the view at its own link — just their grid, the view's name and description, and (if enabled) an add button and a scoped CSV export. No path into the rest of the sheet or your workspace.
